Mashawy

It's truly a gem in Marianna, FL. And all the great reviews about this place do not lie. I drove over an hour just to try some Mediterranean food and I was extremely glad I did. It was raining quite heavily when we got here. The place looks clean and spacious inside. The lights were a little dim. We got the booth by the window with the view of the rain hitting the windows and the cars passing by in the rain on the highway next to the restaurant. We ordered the Mashawy soup, which was house soup with chicken, rice and some herbs in it. It was good for the weather. Next we ordered the signature lamb chops and they were absolutely amazing. The lamb chops were grilled superbly well and had balanced flavors of pepper and aromatic spices. It just tasted juicy and succulent. The basmati rice was filled with flavors of saffron. The pita bread was great, too. And I absolutely loved the hummus. It was fresh and it tasted beautiful with the olive oil. I highly recommend the dish. We ordered Konafa for dessert. It was one of the best desserts I have had in a while. It was served hot. Its rich buttery creamy taste with pistachios was just heavenly. Every bite was filled with greatness. We concluded our meal with hot tea, the Mashawi tea. It was perfect for the weather and tasted great with cinnamon and other spices. Sami and his wife have got a great place here. Highly recommended!!!!

Hands down the BEST place to eat when in this area!!!! I had the shawarma and my wife had the Moussaka...... both were amazing! My sons got the cheeseburgers and fries and both devoured them! The fries are not frozen fries they appeared to be and tasted like fresh cut fries! I cannot over state how awesome the service and food both were! The owners themselves are some of the kindest people you’ll meet!

There are no words that even come close to describing how incredible Mashawy is. My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed. The owners showed us how to eat Mediterranean food (with your hands!) and which sauces to use. We must have tried some of everything. It was all so delicious. They even brought us dessert with Turkish tea, which was the perfect finish to a perfect meal. I only wish our photos did the food justice. Highly recommend this restaurant. Good people, good food.

I highly recommend this place to eat. The area is clean, and the people are very respectful. The food is very good—fresh, tasty, and made with care. The service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. It’s a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

We went a little out of our way to try this place. We're glad we did. My wife, my 2 small children and myself all enjoyed our food. The restaurant was nice, clean and generally pleasant. The food was very very good too! I am happy that we drove a little further down the road than we needed to go to try something new and different. We'll be going back for sure!!

The drinks, food, and desserts are absolutely outstanding in flavor! Delicious! The customer service has never been anything less than outstanding! Lastly, the atmosphere is so relaxing and home feeling! I love EVERYTHING about this restaurant

What a wonderful experience! Sami is SUPER friendly and his HUGE smile made us feel right at home! He also makes EXCELLENT suggestions if you aren't familiar with the menu. The lamb chops are DEFINITELY worth the hype! Perfectly cooked, not overly seasoned, and VERY flavorful! The prices are VERY reasonable and portions are GENEROUS! The appetizers and desserts were all excellent! The house-brewed beer was very light, crisp, and delicious! We drove over an hour to try it...we LOVED it and will DEFINITELY be back!

Absolute must go! The food was really good! If you haven't tried any of the Turkish, Moroccan, or their own blend of tea or coffee I would highly recommend it! The Nadya is an amazing dessert! Above and beyond that the owner is one of the best humans I have met! Super friendly and made sure everything was great! We plan on making the trip several more times from Orlando to come here though we may try and get him to come to Orlando!
